Exodus 17:8-16

8Then cameH935 AmalekH6002, and foughtH3898 with IsraelH3478 in RephidimH7508. 9And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Choose us outH977 menH582, and go outH3318, fightH3898 with AmalekH6002: to morrowH4279 I will standH5324 on the topH7218 of the hillH1389 with the rodH4294 of GodH430 in mine handH3027.1 10So JoshuaH3091 didH6213 as MosesH4872 had saidH559 to him, and foughtH3898 with AmalekH6002: and MosesH4872, AaronH175, and HurH2354 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of the hillH1389. 11And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 held upH7311 his handH3027, that IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396: and when he let downH5117 his handH3027, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396. 12But Moses’H4872 handsH3027 were heavyH3515; and they tookH3947 a stoneH68, and putH7760 it under him, and he satH3427 thereon; and AaronH175 and HurH2354 stayed upH8551 his handsH3027, the one on the one sideH259, and the other on the other sideH259; and his handsH3027 were steadyH530 until the going downH935 of the sunH8121. 13And JoshuaH3091 discomfitedH2522 AmalekH6002 and his peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. 14And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 this for a memorialH2146 in a bookH5612, and rehearseH7760 it in the earsH241 of JoshuaH3091: for I will utterlyH4229 put outH4229 the remembranceH2143 of AmalekH6002 from under heavenH8064. 15And MosesH4872 builtH1129 an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Jehovah–nissi, Yhwh Our BannerH3071:2 16For he saidH559, Because YahH3050 hath swornH3676H3027 that YhwhH3068 will have warH4421 with AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.34
